During this time he received his first award, the German Record Prize (1976). From 1986 to 1990, parallel to his work in France, he was chief conductor of the Gürzenich Orchestra in Cologne, and from 1997 to 1999 he was also a permanent guest conductor of the German Symphony Orchestra in Berlin .
In the 1980s he was a regular guest conductor in the international opera and concert scene, from the Metropolitan Opera New York and the Vienna State Opera to Chicago and Paris to Munich, Hamburg and Berlin. In the 1990s Janowski withdrew from the opera business in order to concentrate more on the concert area.

He is continuing the collaboration he began in 1999 with the Orchester Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo.
To this day (2004) Janowski's complete recording of Richard Wagner's cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen with the Staatskapelle Dresden is considered to be one of the most musically interesting that this work has ever been recorded. His CDs from recent years have received multiple awards.
He began his work as head of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra in autumn 2002 with a five-part Robert Schumann cycle. In March 2000 he made the first complete recording of Paul Hindemith's great philosophical Johannes Kepler opera Die Harmonie der Welt with the RSB, which was released on CD in December 2002 by WERGO and won the 2003 “ Echo Klassik ”, the Grand Prix du Disque of the Charles Cros Academy in 2003 and the “ Cannes Classical Award ” in 2004.
